South American Mythical beasts were usually gruesome, horrible and deadly. Some beasts even had horrible diets like the Cherufe, a beast which eats women. Some other South American Mythical beasts are the Valedjad, a tall, dominating giant, and the Chupacabra (a.k.a Goatsucker) , an fierce animal which is described as a giant winged monkey and kills and eats goats for a diet.
